Cruise!

Sean and I recently went on a 5-night cruise to Costa Maya and Cozumel with another couple we are friends with. I was sick for a good part of it (cold turned into sinus infection) and pretty miserable feeling but we had a lot of fun! The highlights were quality time with Sean, seeing clear blue water, the cooking class in Cozumel, the entertainment shows the last night on the ship, swing dance class with Sean, and of course, as much food as I want whenever I want!!!

Needless to say, we had a blast and look forward to the next cruise in 5 years. I never got sea sick but Sean got a little queezy a few times. There was one particular night leaving Cozumel that the ocean was very rough and the boat was rocking a lot. I kinda found it fun though. I got a lot of good laughs as I tried to walk down the halls and get food.

If I could give one tip for couples looking to book a cruise, DON'T GO IN MARCH!!! Well, that is, don't go during spring break time. My suspicions were correct and our boat was around my guesstimation of 80% full of college kids getting as drunk as possible and partying. We didn't hang out at the pool area of the ship much at all because of how crazy it got. It got so crazy, people-filled and loud that I called the pool area "Cancun". It had to have it's own separate name. The poor old people. They hid until "Cancun" moved off the ship when we docked. Of course, "Cancun" always came back. :)

I was known as "sushi girl" in the Windjammer cafe. I always showed up at around 6:30 PM and the chef would set aside vegetarian sushi for me to have that hasn't touched raw meat at all since I am pregnant. I felt very special and enjoyed it very much! :) They also had watermelon on the ship! Unfortunately, middle of the trip the watermelon started to go sour and didn't really taste all that good.

When the ship was taking off from Tampa, we were towards the front of the boat. The captain blared the horn twice and made me duck and scream! lol... I totally didn't expect that!! Makes since now that he said "whoo whoo" just before he hit the button.

Now for the baby...

I am 16 weeks pregnant! I go this coming week to the doctor and will hopefully then schedule my sonogram! :) I am feeling pretty good pregnancy wise. I thought I have felt the baby move a few times but not very recently. I really want to feel him/her move! I can't wait to hear the heartbeat again at the doctor's office!
